3 Ways to Make Sure Santa Visits Your HousePosted on Friday, November 12 @ 00:45:20 CST | Topic: Holidays By Aaron Hu and Ellie Evergreen Kids all round the world behave all through the year in order to get what they ask for at Christmas. With the idea of Santa knowing who's naughty and nice, it's a set task for children each year to behave properly and ask nicely and politely for Santa to bring them all the nice presents they want. With this in mind, and all their hard work, you should make an effort to assure them that their Santa letters have been received, and that he'll be visiting on Christmas Eve to deliver their much-awaited gifts.
One thing to do is obviously prepare. Make sure your children have sent
letters to Santa and have asked politely for the things they want. Make sure
they're not going too overboard with the gifts they want, and leave it to them
to decide whether they want to ask for things like gifts for other people.
When they've written their letters, it's up to you to decide if you want to
give them a definitive answer by getting them letters from Santa. This is a
wonderful thing to do for kids, as it gives them a sense of being listened to
and understood, and also recognition of their behaviour throughout the year.
Another way to make sure Santa comes to your house is to purchase a "STOP" sign for Santa. You can get these at almost any store, and they assure your children that Santa knows to stop at your house and deliver their gifts. Involve your children in placing this sign or post. Ask them where you think Santa is most likely to see it from the sky. That way you wont have to answer questions like "Are you sure Santa knows to come here?" Lastly, another sure-fire way to get Santa down your chimney is to leave him gifts as well! Leaving a dram of whiskey and a cookie for him is tradition around the world. Leave these little "gifts" on the mantelpiece for Santa before your children go to bed, you can even leave a carrot for Rudolph. Make sure your children know that they're for Santa. When they've gone to bed, drink or throw away the whiskey, eat the cookie (leave some crumbs on the plate!) and take a bite out of the carrot. That way, when your children get up in the morning, they'll really think Santa has been to your house and has thoroughly enjoyed the little treats you left! Keeping the idea of Santa alive for children can sometimes be a bit difficult, but by following a few simple tasks every year they still believe, it'll keep the magic of Santa alive.
